my condolences to Ritchie, family and friends. So very sorry for your loss. I will light a candle for Barb.

you are right with a caveat, you can plug them in and listen and decide if you love them or not then if you want to to keep them you will need to support them. People tend not to listen and be lazy. You should not ship a KLF20 or a KLF30 with the mid motor in place either as it is heavy enough to break/snap off from the horn if the box is given a good shake. This is kind of the same with the EV DH 1506. If you don't shake them or drop them or move them not problem but they do need a shelf or a brace or a hangar to hold the motors weight. Great driver the DH 1506, like Bob Seger said "like a rock".

Altec A7 with 811b.my first store bought speakers, I wanted but could not afford a pair of Valencia with 511b horns

EV DH1A drivers are true S.O.T.A. compression drivers, there is nothing else like them and the more compact Neo motor versions which use the same diaphragms.

some brace work is going to be better than no brace work, this is minimal so don't expect a big difference. ferrofluid can have more or less impact upon driver damping (internal resonances) depends on the driver. The correct viscosity would be required and you don't know what that was so you are in the dark. A generic shot in the dark will at the least provide some extra heat transfer. Get some and try it, if you like it leave it in if you don't remove it.

it's ice at the outer edges!

Why don't you have a look see for a pair of Peavey FH1 cabinets, it's a better horn and a better cabinet (a tiny bit larger). It's not very likely you will beat the $200.00 price but if you can find them local that would make all the difference.

RIP Dave and condolences to the Mallette family.

The first 47 characters say it all thank you, "you can do what ever you want to your Klipsch speaker".

that's reproducing harmonics only everything over 6KHz. now imagine if you improved all the fundamentals and upgraded the mid?

no that's a deal! (the round ones are hard wood the flat one are soft wood)

Those horns should never be shipped with the drivers mounted to the horns. you can repair them.

Best keep a ball lock in that hitch if you want to keep your camper.

a used pair of Peavey SP1 but at the age they all are now a xover re cap will be manditory. be careful they will spoil you as they are better than a La Scala.The CH1 horns were designed by a couple of engineers who had left Electro Voice after Don Keele left EV. They are the real deal but they can be found for peanuts.
